cant function

my ocd is so out of control. i cant seem to even function anymore. ive worked so hard at college all semester and now im afraid that my grades are going to drop so much. ive missed class cuz ill get stuck doing something. i try to get up earlier and it just takes longer to get out the door. i havent left my room in days except to shower and wash my hands. i have some extra pills and my psychiatrist told me that she would up my dose to the next one if i needed. only problem is that i dont have her as my psychiatrist ne more and i dont have an appt with one for like 3 weeks. should i just up the dose myself? i just cant take it anymore. what else can i do, any suggestions?
